Medicare Fund Given 12 Years - Maybe
August 6, 2010 6:01 am | News | CommentsRicardo Alonso-Zaldivar & Stephen Ohlemacher, AP Medicare is in better shape and could stay afloat a dozen years longer than earlier projected, trustees forecast, but that depends on cuts in care that the system's top analyst says are highly doubtful. The annual report by the trustees who oversee Medicare and Social Security, led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, gives backers of the new health care law evidence of a positive impact on government entitlement programs, but it also undercuts the findings with a host of caveats.

If we, as a collective group, do not stand up for our rights to consume healthy, or even unhealthy foods of our choosing, soon the F.D.A. will tell us what we can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and in between).
It is not about food safety, it is about control. He, who controls the food, controls the people! First milk, then what? Will we be forced to buy only patented food products, generated from Genetically Modified seeds?
If raw milk is to be allowed by the people to be considered a hazard, then when is the F.D.A. going to make "mothers boil their breast milk, before feeding babies?" IT COULD HAPPEN. Stand up and voice your opinion, what ever it may be.
I personally grew up on raw milk, not until 1985 did I even taste pasteurized milk. It was around that time Alta Dena Dairy was made to stop all their raw milk production, in Southern California.
Some large "raw milk" producers, claim RAW MILK, however, they are U.S.D.A. inspected, they must pasteurize their milk. It is illegal to place raw dairy products in front of the general population for sale. YES, even in California. Call or contact the California Department of Food and Agriculture (milk and dairy division). Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch
Mailing Address: 1220 N Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
Phone: (916) 654-0773; Fax: (916) 653-7512
Ask them if your favorite raw milk, which is available in a store close to you is pasteurized? YES, even if the label states "RAW MILK", by raw milk standards, when pasteurized to a certain temperature, it can still be considered raw milk.
EVEN "FOR PET USE ONLY" does not fly; all pet food is regulated and must be under inspection. So many misconceptions are making people uneasy, uncomfortable and scared. EVEN when labeled "FOR CRAFT USE ONLY" it must be regulated, because all craft material must be non toxic and child safe; RAW MILK is considered POISON by the F.D.A. and the C.D.F.A. (milk and dairy division)
It is true, the C.D.F.A. Is raiding (with guns) small farms, co-op's, farmers market vendors and markets who even attempt to sell raw milk. http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/aa/aa-26april2010.htm
It does not matter if raw milk is technically legal in California, because if the folks who regulate the milk and dairy division are going to bust into your farm, home or vendor stand with guns, handcuffs or SHOOT YOU! Obviously they are the new LAW. http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/aa/aa-26april2010.htm
When an authority brandishes a firearm, they are doing so with the intent to SHOOT BULLETS from it, if they wanted to talk, no guns would be needed.
Our farm and a few of our farm members were recently contacted about a small, local "green house" or above ground container, produce grower, who is now advertising "RAW MILK SOON" from pigmy goats, I was in laughter, I wanted to know where the threat was, especially since she mentioned pigmy goats, I explained that, obviously her only consmers are her own family, and that was perfectly legal and that she would need 100 pigmy goats to produce enough milk for any market.
I also said that I know the person, she has been a guest in my home, and that I am not interested in getting involved, nor will I comment on the location, or where she can be located. I tried to explain that this person is no threat to anyone, just now, starting a farm and may not be aware of the food, health and safety laws and regulations.
Obviously "the they" know where she is, she advertises online, and they may have just wanted to gather additional info. BEWARE the milk and dairy division will gather information on illegal, raw milk and bathtub cheese producers and compile a good case against them before the RAID, this ensures jail time and a solid prosecution.
I do know firsthand that a few illegal, raw dairy producers are not clean and unaware of health and safety standards, some even lack the common sense to maintain a sanitary environment. When you are dealing with a raw dairy product, sanitation standards, livestock health and care must be of the highest caliber, or else,the weak, the elderly, children or anyone with a weak immune system can get very ill, or even die, usually resulting from unsanitary conditions. I have been in the farming industry a long time, and have seen many ugly things.
I agree that sanitation standards, education and monitoring of small raw milk farms offering raw dairy to the general public should be enforced, but to OUTLAW raw milk is just plain ignorant and self serving. If you know where your raw dairy is coming from, how the livestock are treated and handled, if you know that the conditions are sanitary, and are happy with your product, you should have the right to choose. This is what America is built on "Freedom Of Choice" People!

Yes, I know that Minecraft isn't technically an MMO, but with multiplayer servers, you can have up to 999 players connected simultaneously in the same space, which is ironically more than many MMOs. But I digress!
Massively Minecraft (no relation) is a community of Minecraft players dedicated to the education of children on a massive scale through the popular indie sandbox. Created by virtual world vet Jokaydia, Massively Minecraft is "a Guild based learning community for kids aged 4-16 who are interested in developing digital media skills, exploring their creativity and developing online social skills." Of course, in an environment like that, there's an application process to get onto the multiplayer server's whitelist, so safety is a priority.
You can learn more about how the Massively Minecraft community operates by visiting its website.

Well, I was going to ask about that one "MegaBlox" or Lego clone MMO (whose name I can't remember...Kinectblox? I know they have game cards in some stores...) and that was in reference to the article in regards to the cancellation of Lego Universe regarding a Mother searching for a new MMO for her autistic son.
I guess this wouldn't be too bad.
Internet: Please pass this along to all concerned parties and children. (Or post on the Lego Universe forums...if they are still around?).

NP grad working still in ICU NSO says need NP malpractice
0Jan 14, '13 by gladys105Hi,Just received my renewal for my student NP malpractice insurance. Now that I am officially licensed as a NP, I need to pay 800 dollars even if I am working as a RN(ICU). NSO said I need to insure to the highest license held. Is this true?I thought I could revert back to RN malpractice at 100 dollars till I pass boards and get a job. It's very expensive.Gladys
1Jan 14, '13 by traumaRUs, MSN, APRN, CNS AdminNope, the minute you graduate you are held to the standard of the NP whether you work as an RN or NP.....I would fork over the $800.joanna73 likes this.
0Jan 18, '13 by elkparkNSO is right. Just as RNs are held, legally, to the standards/practices of an RN even if they are working in an LPN or CNA position, you are legally held to the standards/practices of an NP even if you are working as a staff nurse. Of course, it's your choice whether to carry insurance or not, but, it you're going to, the insurance companies are right to refuse to insure you at a "lower" level than your current level of education/licensure. Licenses are 24/7/365; we don't get to turn them on and off when we choose.

Academic Enrichment Services
Academic Enrichment Services include developmental studies, and learning assistance (on campus tutoring in English and Math and multi-discipline tutoring on-line), and special support services. Academic enrichment services are designed to promote and strengthen the development of learning skills in areas that are basic to college success, and to enhance the overall academic environment.
Developmental Studies
The developmental studies courses serve students who are in need of special academic assistance. Courses are designed to improve students' basic abilities in the areas of study skills, writing, reading, and mathematics. Students who place in developmental studies courses must complete successfully all developmental studies courses before completing more than 30 hours of college credit. A student may take any single developmental course a maximum of 3 times. These courses award institutional credit, which is nontransferable and will not count toward graduation. Any student who must take a developmental studies course must complete that course with a grade of "C" or better before enrolling for any higher numbered course in the same field.
Course Limitations for Developmental Studies Students
Advisors will direct students to enroll in courses the students should be able to complete successfully while in developmental studies courses. Students who are placed in EN 99 will be directed to take courses that do not require strong writing skills, and students placed in MA 98 or MA 99 will be directed to take courses that do not require strong mathematical skills.
An on campus tutoring service in mathematics and English is provided during regular hours, and additional tutoring sessions may be arranged at other hours. On-line, multi-discipline, tutoring is also available for students. These services are available between 16 and 24 hours a day. There is no cost to students for these services.
Support Services
The Office of Special Support Services provides reasonable accommodations to students who complete a Disclosure of Disability Form and provide the appropriate documentation of disability. Accommodations for students with disabilities are individually determined.

Great house
Rented this house for November. I was looking for a house that had no carpets, and this rental fit this. The property was exavtly as described and photographs were accurate fir the contents. Upon our arrival this house answered all our needs, as we were roughly 20 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go (Disney parks, Walmart Supercenter, Manny's Chophouse restaurant, Outlets etc..). Not a gated community, but never did we feel uncomfortable. The beds and furniture are comfortable. The pool was great and the grandkids spent most of their time when at the house in the water (we had the pool heated for our stay and was worth it). The gaz grill was also appreciated as many meals were cooked on it.
The property was very clean for a rental. The vertical blinds at the end patio doors are a little flimsy and valance fell while opening blinds, so we just took it and placed it in the garage. The very friendly property managers are a phone call away, and Claude and Monique will quickly solve or answer any questions you may have. We would readily return to this home when we go back and highly recommend it to any traveller. As mentionned above, we bought our groceries at the Walmart Supercenter, but there is a Publix grocery 5 minutes from house, but their prices are a little higher. Also, close to Walmart is a Lowes hardware for the handyman. We also enjoyed fresh grapefruit juice from the tree in backyard. Thanks To the owner Mike and also to Claude and Monique who all made sure our stay was comfortable.
An Amazing Find!
What a find! After countless hours searching for the perfect place to stay we found this listing. This home was a true blessing after fun days at the theme parks. It became our home away from home and we loved unwinding in it after long days of running around. This home is situated in a quiet neighborhood not far from Disney and Universal. The place is as cute as the pictures! My family loved the spacious layout, and amenities of this home. Each kiddo had their own room, played in the game room, and splashed in the pool. We also found that the large kitchen allowed us some normalcy in cooking options during our Disney/Universal adventures. You won't find better home owners. They truly want their guests to have a wonderful time in the area and are quick to respond and help where it is needed. We had an amazing vacation- and would definitely stay here again!!!
Great house / superbe maison
Perfect place for a family vacation - spacious, clean, 5 minutes from the grocery store and 20 minutes from the Disney parks. The covered pool in the backyard is fantastic. We loved our stay!
Endroit parfait pour des vacances en famille - maison spacieuse, très propre, à 5 minutes de l'épicerie et 20 minutes des parcs Disney. La piscine couverte à l'arrière est fantastique. On a adoré notre séjour!

# 1 - All the Light We Cannot See - by Anthony Doerr
From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laures reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museums most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laures converge.
Doerrs stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer whose sentences never fail to thrill (Los Angeles Times).

Shes even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their lifeas she sees itis perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
And then she sees something shocking. Its only a minute until the train moves on, but its enough. Now everythings changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved.

Nearly a year has passed since surviving her ordeal, but the physical, emotional, and psychological scars run deep. Struggling with the torment of post-traumatic stress syndrome, plagued by flashbacks and nightmares as dark as the heart of a killer, Dana returns to her hometown in an attempt to begin to put her life back together. But home doesnt provide the comfort she expects.
Danas harrowing story and her return to small town life have rekindled police and media interest in the unsolved case of her childhood best friend, Casey Grant, who disappeared without a trace the summer after their graduation from high school. Terrified of truths long-buried, Dana reluctantly begins to look back at her past. Viewed through the dark filter of PTSD, old friends and loved ones become suspects and enemies. Questioning everything she knows, refusing to be defined by the traumas of her past and struggling against excruciating odds, Dana seeks out a truth that may prove too terrible to be believed
# 1 - Being Mortal - by Atul Gawande
In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending
Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit. Nursing homes, preoccupied with safety, pin patients into railed beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering.
Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his professions ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.
Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mortal asserts that medicine can comfort and enhance our experience even to the end, providing not only a good life but also a good end.

text: Ok..so i know this is a weight loss forum...however, i really wanted to do something nice for my DH and his favorite thing is gingerbread cookies. Well today I tried a recipe from the joy of baking. I failed miserably. I gave it the 2+ hrs in fridge like it said but it was a sticky mess. I was wondering if anyone had a good recipe for gingerbread cookies. I have a second half of the batch that i'm going to leave in fridge overnight to see if it works out better. But i'd like to get an idea of what other people have used in the past and have succeeded with.

Success of Domestic Groups' Program Is the Drive for Decision
CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Wild American(R) Shrimp, Inc. (WASI) has announced plans to introduce a proactive self-funding process to secure the future of the highly successful certification and marketing program for the domestic shrimping industry. Beginning in January 2008, Wild American Shrimp will be funded by a combination of federal government assistance, voluntary industry contributions, foundation grant applications and a financial assessment to be paid on each pound of Certified Wild American Shrimp sold. The strategies were approved by unanimous vote by the WASI board earlier this week, and are being communicated to approved suppliers of WASI products today.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070918/CLTU095LOGO )
"WASI is in its third year of operations and has created a certification and marketing program that carries a reputable value among retailers and the public," said Dennis Henderson, President of WASI. "To ensure the future of this program we need to rely less on a single source of funding and more on our own abilities to pay for our successful programs and activities. Our approved suppliers told us they are ready to make a financial contribution for the value that the certification seal offers and the marketing support that we provide. This, combined with our own fundraising initiatives will enable us to continue to promote, support and ultimately grow our important domestic industry for years to come."
WASI has been funded by the federal government through grants for the
organization. The step towards self-funding has been contingent on the
success of WASI's activities, and the new announcement is a clear
indication of the industry's support and regard for the program. The
funding program will constitute three areas of focus: WASI applications f

By Samantha Vincenty in DIY on Mar 30, 2012
The cross stitches found at DefiantDamsel's Etsy shop are a hilarious collection of pop culture gems. There's nothing like embroidery to lend a quaint charm to a filthy "Heathers" quote. You can get the pattern and stitch it yourself, or if you're craft-challenged like me (clumsy sausage-finger hands and no attention span) you can buy the finished product in a frame. I think Joel McHale would look great in my den.

Zac Posen Spring 2015
Ever the artist, Zac Posen created an exceptionally sculptural collection for Spring. In his show notes, Posen touched upon wanting to create clothes with seams that "walked", but in all actuality, these seams were dancing. To wit: the beautifully upwardly-curved neckline on a cardinal A-line mermaid gown or the carefully draped eyelet back on a pearlescent day dress. Other

"Have you been to the rooftop garden at the Met?" Michelle Smith asked us before her Spring 2015 show.

Veronica Beard Spring 2015
This season, the sister-in-law duo behind Veronica Beard, Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard, came up with intriguing separates and dresses done in an airy color scheme of light greys, textured whites, tropical greens, sky blues, clementine oranges, and subdued yellows. Standouts included a simple yet expertly-cut black blazer and white button down paired with zebra print Bermuda shorts, while a pale blue and white

Lela Rose Spring 2015
Ultra femme was the M.O. at Lela Rose for Spring. B&W was the predominant color scheme, punctuated with baby blues, muted yellows, cloudy greys and vivacious magenta tones playing supporting roles. Every piece was cut with a ladylike appeal. An all-white flouncy mid-calf dress bared the shoulders and accentuated the waist. A matching pencil skirt and blouse were scattered with blue

Maria Cornejo did her usual minimalistic thing, to great effect. She wanted this collection to exude positivity and serenity while the world at large battles darker times; deep, non?

Versus by Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2015
A match made in heaven: Anthony Vaccarello does a provocative, barely-there mini like the best of them. When he's working the Versace vibe, complete with dangerously short hemlines, Grecian motifs, and Medusa medallions, he truly shines. So did the front row, which included Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Naomi Campbell. These unabashedly saucy, impressively short little LBDs are just the

Nanette Lepore is clearly in a cheery mood for Spring.

DKNY Spring 2015
She's gone graphic. At DKNY this season, short dresses were layered with calf-length skirts and paired with platform sneakers. The sum of those parts oozed street cred.

Taurasi ignites for 11 points in second overtime to propel Mercury
MINNEAPOLIS -- Diana Taurasi took over in the second overtime and helped the Phoenix Mercury outlast the Minnesota Lynx in the highest scoring game in WNBA history.
Taurasi scored 11 of her 31 points in the second overtime and the Mercury set the league scoring mark with a 127-124 victory over the Lynx on Saturday night.Candice Dupree led the Mercury (10-12) with 32 points, and DeWanna Bonner and Penny Taylor added 20 each. Phoenix, which rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter, eclipsed the previous single-game record it set in a 123-91 victory at Tulsa on Thursday."We have a lot of veterans on this team," Dupree said. "They know how to stay composed and fight through how many ever overtimes we need to get the win."The previous combined record for both teams was 221 points, set in the Mercury's 111-110 3OT win against Houston on Aug. 10, 2006.Phoenix, which won for the fifth time in six games, topped 90 points for the seventh straight game, also a WNBA record. The Mercury had done it six consecutive games on three prior occasions.Taurasi, the league's leading scorer at 23.4 points per game, finished just 8 for 23 from the field, but was 14 for 14 from the free-throw line -- including seven in the second overtime. She also made a fadeaway jumper and scored on a drive as she was knocked to the floor."I got looks earlier and they weren't going down. I just stayed with it," she said.Seimone Augustus scored a season-high 36 points for the Lynx (7-14). Charde Houston added 21 points as Minnesota lost for the fifth time in seven games and fell 2 1/2 games behind Phoenix for second place in the Western Conference.The Lynx have lost their last three games by a combined seven points."It's tough because we feel like we're almost there, but we just can't get over the hump," said Minnesota's Rebekkah Brunson, who had 19 points and a franchise-record 17 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season.Phoenix made 29 of 33 free-throw attempts. Minnesota made just 30 of 43, missing six in the final 1:16 of regulation."We pride ourselves on making free throws, we've led the league the last couple of years," Taurasi said. "They are free points. When you can capitalize on them it helps in games when you're not necessarily shooting the ball well. ... It's something as simple as that that can change the outcome."The Mercury used a 12-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to pull to 90-88, but Houston hit a long jumper and a 3-pointer on the next two Minnesota possessions. A 3-pointer by Taurasi got the Mercury to 99-98 with 12 seconds to go before Lindsay Whalen made one of two free throws for the Lynx.Bonner capped the Mercury's fourth-quarter comeback with a tying jumper with 2.1 seconds left. It was the first tie of the game.Augustus scored 15 points in the third quarter to key a Minnesota rush after Phoenix got within four points early in the second half.A pair of long jumpers by Augustus sandwiched around one of her five 3-pointers gave the Lynx a 79-66 lead. After Phoenix scored six straight, Augustus hit another long jumper to put Minnesota up nine.Augustus scored seven of Minnesota's points during a 13-4 run for a 45-28 lead midway through the second quarter. Phoenix used a 10-2 run to pull to 54-47 at halftime.Center Kara Braxton, acquired Friday from Tulsa, scored seven points for the Mercury.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
